STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — The former Moore Catholic High School gym teacher and assistant basketball coach facing 30 counts of statutory rape for alleged sexual trysts with a former student was released without bail on Monday.

Megan Mahoney, 24, of Franklin Avenue in New Brighton, was arrested and arraigned on Monday in Stapleton Criminal Court for allegedly having sex with a then-16-year-old male student at Moore Catholic on at least 30 occasions, between last Oct. 31 and Jan. 9.

Ms. Mahoney and the teen had sex at least twice a week during that period, according to allegations in the criminal complaint filed against her.

The victim turned 17 in March and Ms. Mahoney — who is listed in the police report as his friend/acquaintance — will be 25 in November.
